After staring at the left side of Amachi's face for a while, as he had just done, Ogata turned his finger to himself.

"It's up to me next."

Seeing that Ogata was reluctant to tell her what he was going to do, Amachi didn't bother to ask Ogata about it again.

After Ogata made her look at him directly, Amachi obediently twisted her head and looked at each other face to face with Ogata.

Okai looked at Amachi's face expressionlessly and directly.

Ogata just looked at Amachi silently, neither doing anything else nor making a sound.

After a long silence—

"Huh."

A chuckle suddenly broke the silence.

Then he whispered:

"Looking at it, your face is the best."

"Huh?"

Amachi felt his face heat up at a rapid pace.

Just when she was still at a loss for what Ogata had just said and didn't know how to respond, Ogata then whispered:

"I don't know what other people think of you."

"But for me Ogata Yoshisei, your appearance has never been ugly, Amachi."

"So—when you think you're ugly in the future, or when people say you're ugly, you tell yourself like this: no matter what, there's always going to be a ronin named Ogata who thinks you're always good-looking, and you'll never find you ugly."

“…… Why can you speak these coaxing words so skillfully? After a short silence, Amachi said in this unpleasant tone, "You didn't always use these words to coax women in places like Youko, did you?" ”

"Not really." Ogata said hurriedly.

Ogata's hurried appearance of defense seemed to amuse Amachi.

After covering his mouth and laughing a few times, Amachi said to Ogata with a faint smile on his face:

“…… Thank you. ”

At this time, the smile on Amachi's face no longer had the traces of bitterness as just now.

"Ah Yi, I am very happy to hear what you said just now, whether it is sincere or false......"

"Women are so simple." Amachi changed to a half-joking tone, "As long as you are praised for your beauty, whether the other party is flattering or not, you will be happy." ”

"Anyway...... Thank you......"

"You're welcome. After all, I was just telling the truth......"

Boom.

"Huh?" Suddenly hearing a strange noise coming from outside the window, Ogata raised an eyebrow.

Boom.

Outside the window again, there was a muffled sound that was exactly the same as before.

This muffled sound was louder than the previous one.

Both Ogata and Amachi frowned slightly at this time, casting a puzzled look out of the window.

Based on the loudness of the strange sound, it seemed to be the sound of something heavy hitting something......

It seems to be coming from somewhere quite far away......

……

……

At the same time—

The base of Shotaro and others.

"Come on! New Arrival! Drink! ”

Seitaro shoved a small wooden tube into the arms of Nanaemon beside him.

The liquid contained in the small wooden tube, which is only the height of an adult's index finger, is constantly emitting a faint smell of alcohol.

"What ...... this?" Nanaemon hesitated.

"This is rice wine made from rice borrowed from Toyowa Village." Shotaro doesn't hide anything, "Let's drink a little!" ”

"That'...... You're welcome......"

After drinking the rice wine in the wooden tube, the long-lost aroma of sake immediately filled the mouth of Nanaemon.

Although he had just joined the organization headed by the brothers Shotaro and Sotaro, Nanaemon had already figured out Shotaro's temperament a little in this short period of time.

Shotaro's most obvious personality should be enthusiastic and bold.

The enthusiasm and boldness surprised Nanaemon a little.

When the Nanaemon group joined them, Seitaro greeted them warmly and invited them to drink rice wine.

For such a warm and bold person, Nanaemon does not hate it.

Not only is it not annoying, but I like it a little.

Because this kind of person tends to be easier to talk to, and can get a lot of information from their mouths.

Nanaemon has already gathered a lot of information from Shotaro.

For example, in Shotaro's current organization, only he and Sotaro are the first batch of prisoners to land on the island, who were thrown onto the island in early December last year, and have been on this broken island for more than 4 months, and the rest are basically prisoners of the second and third batches.

And - Shotaro's current organization is still quite numerous, but there are still very few people who know how to fight.

Including Seitaro and Sotaro, there are probably less than 10 people who have practiced martial arts.

Seeing that his relationship with Shotaro had become more familiar, Nanaemon decided to find out some more intimate information from Shotaro.

"Shotaro-sama." Nanaemon put down the small wooden tube in his hand, "Why did you gather so many people?" With so many people gathered, could it be to facilitate the attack on that Fenghe Village and occupy the land protected by the wooden wall? ”

"How is that possible?" Seitaro let out a sneer without thinking, "What's the use of occupying that broken land?" ”

"I've gathered so many people, not to survive on this island, but to escape from this island."

After Shotaro poured a large mouthful of rice wine into his mouth, he continued to meet Nanaemon's puzzled gaze:

"I'm going to snatch the shogunate's ship! Then escape from this hellish place on the shogunate's ship! ”

"Robbing the shogunate's ship?!" Nanaemon exclaimed.

"There's not even a boat to go to sea in this damn place. If you want to get out of here, you have to grab the shogunate's ship. ”

"And the shogunate's ships must have a lot of soldiers to escort them, so I need combat power, and I need enough combat power!"

Speaking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Shotaro's face.

"And now—that's almost enough."

"The day the next shogunate ship lands on the island, it's time for me to grab the ship and leave this hellish place......"

"Ahh——!h

Before Shotaro could finish his sentence, a scream from the mouth of the valley where they were living abruptly interrupted Shotaro's words.

Aotaro instantly frowned, and shouted in a low voice:

"What's going on?!"

It didn't take long for a man to stumble towards Shotaro, and said to Shotaro with a frightened face:

"Shotaro-sama! There are giants! ”

"Giants?!" Shotaro's voice couldn't help but lose its voice with shock.

After hurriedly throwing aside the wooden tube with a little rice wine in his hand, Aotaro grabbed his wakicha and ran towards Taniguchi at the highest speed he could reach.

After arriving at Taniguchi, Shotaro met the giant he had just spoken.

It was also after arriving at Taniguchi that Shotaro realized that the man just now was not lying.

There are really giants who come to patronize them.
